Now Yehoshua was old and well stricken in years; and the LORD said to him, You are old and well stricken in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.
2
This is the land that yet remains: all the regions of the Pelishtim, and all the Geshuri;
3
from the Shichor, which is before Mitzrayim, even to the border of `Ekron northward, [which] is reckoned to the Kana`anim; the five lords of the Pelishtim; the `Azati, and the Ashdodi, the Eshkeloni, the Gitti, and the `Ekroni; also the `Avvim,
4
on the south; all the land of the Kana`anim, and Me`arah that belongs to the Tzidonim, to Afek, to the border of the Amori;
5
and the land of the Givli, and all Levanon, toward the sunrise, from Ba`al-Gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamat;
6
all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Levanon to Misrefot-Mayim, even all the Tzidonim; them will I drive out from before the children of Yisra'el: only allot you it to Yisra'el for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.
7
Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Menashsheh.
